Restoration opinions
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2020 3:22 pm
I’m new to the forum and am starting a mild restoration of a 1950 cub. It runs very good. It will be a parade tractor and something to help teach my grandsons how to turn wrenches and how things mechanical work.
It has all its hydraulics but it leaks at main housing. Seems to be a seal. I am considering eliminating hydraulics all together. In other words taking it all off the tractor. Reason being it leaks pretty bad and I really don’t want to spend money or time rebuilding it at this point. I do not have any aspirations of doing a complete restoration and or having it in any shows to win awards. I am about the history of the tractor and originality, but, I won’t be using any hydraulic implements. I am torn on what to do.
I don’t usually post on any forum and especially don’t ask for opinions. But I think this is a safe place to ask for yours.
Thanks for taking the time.
